Patent attributes
Examples disclosed herein relate to an adaptive radar for near-far target identification. The radar includes an antenna module configured to radiate a transmission signal with an analog beamforming antenna in a plurality of directions using one or more phase control elements in a first radar scan and to generate radar data capturing a surrounding environment. The radar also includes a data pre-preprocessing module configured to receive the radar data and determine adjustments to transceiver parameters in the antenna module for a second radar scan subsequent to the first radar scan based at least on range. The radar also includes a perception module configured to detect and identify a target in the surrounding environment from the radar data. Other examples disclosed herein relate to methods of near-far target identification in a radar.
